Is there a way to restart your application?

[David H Dennis]

Does anyone know if there is a way to restart your application - basically unload the old copy, read in a new one and start it from the beginning?

It would be like the execv() system call in Unix with the name of the application.

Many thanks for your thoughts.

I very much doubt it

Well you could modify your main to restart the application loop under certain conditions. So you cause your application to release and quite itself and immediately afterwards start it up again from main.

But even restarting does not save you the work of proper memory management.

Also, why would you want to do that? It would probably confuse your user and make him think your program crashed.

My app hast a session (login). And a "logout" should reset the whole application and start at the first xib = login.

It "works" with

initWithNibName

but then is there a backButton and all my other button logic won't work.

There must be an autostart function because if i build my app to device it starts automaticaly.

Any ideas?
